Christian Education

At First Church, we want to worship God with our hearts and minds. That means, we take Christian education seriously. We want to explore what God is doing in the world and understand the truth of the gospel by asking big questions together. Come explore with us!

 

Matthew Bible Study

On Thursday Nights at 7pm, there is a small group gathering, lead by Charlie Burch, to study the book of Matthew. The group is currently full. Look for future opportunities for small group Bible study. Please contact the church office for more information.

Adult Sunday School

We offer an adult Sunday school class on Sundays at 9am in Room 4 of our education wing, near the Family Life Center. Look at biblical themes in a new way! Professor Craig R. Koester interweaves the study of biblical texts with their impact on art, literature, and music. Each session has a 30 minute video and group discussion. Contact the church office for more information.
